Insights
- Playlist Playground is in beta for US Apple Music subscribers with English as their preferred language.
- The feature requires iPhone or iPad on iOS 26.4 or an Apple Vision headset on visionOS 26.4, and is also available on Android.
- You can open Playlist Playground from the Home tab Top Picks shortcut or the playlist creation icon in Library.
- Type a prompt describing mood or style and use Apple’s sample prompts to generate a playlist.
- Generated playlists can be edited with metadata filters or manually, for example removing songs released before 2016.
- Playlists behave like regular ones: save to Library, download offline, play on Apple Watch, share, and invite others to add songs.
- Playlist Playground builds mixes using trending data and your listening history and runs as part of the Apple Music service rather than requiring Apple Intelligence hardware.
